Cascadia Owners Win Award for Thermal Spacer Innovation

Cascadia Owners were presented with a 2011 'Sustainable Construction & Innovation' award by the Vancouver Regional Construction Association for their work engineering and designing the Fiberglass Thermal Spacer.

The Fiberlass Thermal Spacer, now known as the Cascadia Clip™, available from Cascadia Windows Ltd., is a cladding support system for exterior insulated walls. It separates steel girts from the back-up wall and allows insulation to perform over 100% more efficiently than if traditional steel supports were used.

"It is nice to be recognized for this work," said Kevin Ganzert, President of Cascadia. "It is a terrific product that yields real energy savings for owners for the life of the building."

The award was presented on October 19, at the annual VRCA Awards of Excellence ceremony. The awards committee had received 280 nominations for awards in 15 categories.
